The SD3 can use either voice or text messages to alert your contacts. It can store
up to eight different voice and/or text messages which correspond to the eight
alarm inputs (A to H). Also, it can store a site voice message and/or site text mes-
sage which will be played/sent after the alert message to provide general details
about the premises. As an additional feature, when an alarm is cancelled, the SD3
can also be programmed to send a restore message to inform your contacts. The
SD3 can store up to eight separate voice and/or text restore messages which
relate to the eight alarm inputs (A to H). For restore messages you must enable
trigger restore option in the call routing menu.
Voice messages
Each voice message can be up to 30 seconds long (in long play mode). The
unit has an internal microphone and loudspeaker, which are used to record and
playback the voice messages. Messages should be recorded to reflect the type of
alarm that is being triggered, e.g., if ‘trigger input A’ is connected to a smoke alarm
then ‘message A’ should state that there is a fire alarm at the premises.
Note: It is recommended that you record “Press 8 on your telephone to accept this
call” at the end of your message.
When calling some mobile phone networks you may find that the network takes a
long time to connect to the mobile unit, causing the SD3 to drop the call and move
on the next telephone number. We recommend that you make the recording time
of the site message and trigger message to be no less than eight seconds each
when calling a mobile phone.

address, contact details, etc), as required.
• Record restore messages. For each alarm input, you can record a restore mes
-
sage that will be played to your contacts when the alarm situation is cleared. As
per step 3, use the scroll keys to locate the eight Voice Restore entries and
record suitable messages.
